Introduction

The Technology Adoption Program is designed to enable key customers to maintain a direct line into Microsoft product teams while using prerelease versions of Visual Studio Orcas to build production software.

Microsoft benefits when customers find bugs in real world scenarios before the product ships. TAP customers benefit by ensuring that the upcoming Visual Studio release supports their product, by training their employees on the latest and most productive toolset, and by learning from direct interactions with the teams that build Visual Studio.
